Dear CCP4 experts,
I'm working on a kind of cystein peptidase. It shows a little degradation
after 2 days storing at 4 degree even I tried many kinds of protease
inhibitors, or glycerol and DTT.
So I decided to work fast (1 day) then set xtal. After one week I pick up
some condition and check degradation by SDS-PAGE. It shows heavy degradation
then I think it's impossible to obtain the crystal if I don't find out how
to stop the degradation first.

Do you have any idea about my situation? Is it true that I need to stop the
degradation and how to deal with it?
Thank you for your advices,

My best regards,
TriNgo
